22.8.11
What Happens When You Are Asleep?
Firstly some people may grind their teeth, suck their thumbs, sleep walk, sleep talk, snore, and pedal their legs. It’s all very embarrassing but you don’t have to worry because it’s all part of life and every one does one or two of them. They will grow out of it.

Secondly your body slows down, your mouth stops making saliva, your heart beats slower, and your breathing slows downs.

As well as that when you sleep you can hear what is going on around you. You would be able to hear the alarm clock or, if you’re like my mother, a baby crying. If you hear anything unusual you would instantly wake up.

Finally while you are sleeping you also dream. Dreaming is when your have a long vision in your head while you are asleep. Nobody knows what their dreams mean. Some people sit with tape recorders and notebooks on their bedside tables. I don’t think our dreams mean anything. They are just there to keep us busy while we are asleep. This is what happens when we are asleep.

Main Ideas:
Paragraph 1:
Firstly some people may grind their teeth, suck their thumbs, sleep walk, sleep talk, snore, and pedal their legs

Summary:
When people are asleep people grind their teeth, suck their thumbs, sleep walk, sleep talk, snore and pedal their legs. Your body also slows down, your mouth stops making Saliva, your heart beats slower and your breathing slows down. when you are asleep you can basically hear anything around you. When you are asleep you have a long vision in your hed called dreaming.

Topic: Snow is fun for kids

Main Ideas:


  • Having Snow Ball fights: you can throw snow balls at your family and throw them around inside and accidentally throw one into your fire place and it will go OUT!!
  • Making Snow Men: If there is a lot of snow around you can make snow men and you can jump on them when you finish them and you can accessorise it
  • Sliding around in the snow: You can slide around in the snow which is really fun unless you slide on concrete or wood it can really hurt. If you slide on grass or on snow hills it can bereally FUN!!



Snow is Fun for Kids.


Snow is fun for kids. Why? Because you can have snowball fights, make snow men and you can slide around in the snow. Lots of kids and others love to play around in snow and have fun in it.

Firstly, you can have snowball fights. They are really fun to do because you can throw them at your family,friends and lots of other things. If your family or friends don’t like it don’t throw another one. You can throw them at your sibling inside, but I am sure that you will get in trouble. You can accidentally throw one into your fire place. For example: The other day when it was snowing in Palmerston North I got a snow ball and I threw it at my sister inside but she ducked so it went in the fire place and put it out.



Snow is also fun because you can make snow men. A snow man is made up of three big snowballs. Once if you make one you can accessorise it with lots of things. For example you could have a carrot for the nose and buttons for the middle of it to make it look like it is wearing a shirt. You could also jump on it and make it again. You could keep doing that all day if you wanted to. The other day I made a snowman and I accessorised it and then I jumped on it and I kept doing that, it was a lot of fun. But I lost all of my accessories while doing it.



Snow is also fun because you can slide around in it. If there is snow on the concrete or on a deck don’t slide round in it. It will leave a lot of marks on your body. If you slide around on a snow hill or grass it can be a lot of fun. For example the other day I was sliding around in the snow but I was dumb because I was sliding on the concrete and I was getting marks all over my body. Then I got smart and I started to slide around on the grass.



So all together you can see snow is fun. So the next time you have snow around start having snowball fights, make snowmen and slide around in the snow. They are all so much fun.

Hayden Shaw plays for New Zealand and Canterbury. He captains both teams. He loves being captain because he gets to do the coin toss. His teams like him being captain because he is a good leader at the back. He doesn’t like dealing with the the teams problems for example: people not wanting certain people to play, people getting injured and blaming team members and these are only some of the teams problems.


The most important thing to Hayden Shaw’s game is his dribbling. Hayden Shaw’s drag flick goes around 120km/h and it is the best in the world. He always uses it in the attacking Penalty Corners and he usually scores with it. He is the best dribbler in New Zealand, he can get around anyone with doing a left to right drag.

You can see that he has many factors to his game that make him the best in the world here are some of them: His drag flick, his dribbling, his left to right drag around players and his leadership.
